If you're thinking about getting in on the action but wanna know more, it's a story surrounding a marine and a CIA agent. The marine finally returns home after being missing for eight years. The CIA agent (Claire) suspects he's involved in a major terrorist attack to hit the States. Drama ensues.

Showtime President David Nevins says:

Homeland is just getting started. Clearly, the overall audience growth from week one to week four demonstrates that this show is hitting a nerve in the cultural zeitgeist. Howard Gordon and Alex Gansa have created a psychological thriller that holds special relevance in the post 9/11 world. I’m quite confident that its passionate audience will be riveted as the season unfolds and people discover where this story is going.
